London's New Year's Eve fireworks display is set to return on Thursday 31 December 2026. The event will take place around the London Eye as Big Ben strikes midnight, attracting thousands of visitors.
Tickets are required for access to the official viewing areas along the River Thames, including sections of Victoria Embankment and the South Bank. These tickets are typically released via Ticketmaster in the autumn.
Beyond the fireworks, London will host numerous other celebrations to welcome 2027. Options include glamorous hotel dinners, rooftop parties, all-night dancing, and live music events. Venues such as The Dorchester, 45 Park Lane, and Quaglino's are offering special New Year's Eve menus and experiences.
For New Year's Day, the annual London New Year's Day Parade is planned for central London. Many of the city's museums and attractions are also expected to reopen on 1 January, though checking opening hours and public transport schedules is advised.
